Stupid Guvmint

So the federal budget is out today, and the only thing I’m interested in has been cut.

For the past 2 years, I’ve “bought” a laptop on salary sacrifice. Works pays for it, gets a tax break, and I pay for it from my gross pay. This means that I effectively get it cheaper, and it doesn’t cost work anything at all. Win-Win.

Now, if I want to do that, I’m limited to one device (used to be you could get a laptop and a PDA, for example, now it’s either) and the device must be primarily for work.

Just got a new round of PCs about 12 months ago, so I don’t know that I can wrangle it so that I can get a “work laptop”.

Stupid Guvmint. Maybe I don’t have to follow their stupid rules cos I didn’t vote for them…
